So there has been some loss in my life of late :( But God has been so faithful!
Mittens "my baby" of almost 6 years died a few weeks ago. Around the same time was the time God led me to break up with Josh. The Lord has wonderful things in store for me I just know it!
Found out my home school friend David Grotberg died in a hit and run accident down in Texas where He was attending college. His death has left a hole in our home school teen night group. I attended a prayer service Saturday night and was blessed with time to simply pray, remember David and encourage those around me who were sorrowing. So thankful he knew the Lord! Makes this loss so much easier to handle. "His two moods were thinking or smiling".
The funeral has been scheduled for next Tuesday and I praise the Lord for allowing my current work schedule to work around it so I am able to attend, help support and serve however I may!
Speaking of jobs, my last day at Econo as a Deli Assistant is this Saturday and Dow Agro is October 26th! I will miss the people I've worked with but I know God has greater things in store for me!
One thing I plan to work on shortly before winter arriving is to finish insulating my chicken coop and learning ways to help my hens lay eggs this winter. I have some ideas in mind and am excited to put them to the test! Any suggestions on good egg laying breeds would be greatly appreciated!!!?????
I simply love how the Lord directs the songs I sing for the benefit and enjoyment of His chosen people. I will eventually upload the video Joshua so graceously filmed. :)
In the meantime here is the original song
One more thing before I lay down to rest :)
I kept the church bulletin from Harvest Reformed Church in Minot, ND ( during my visit with Becca up at Bartlett Farms) and today I was reading the back and this following question and paragraph caught my eye and applied to the current time of loss.
Heidelberg Catechism Question & Answer One
What is your only Comfort in Life and in Death?
That I, with body and soul, both in life and in death, am not my own, but belong to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ, who with His precious blood has fully satisfied for all my sins, and redeemed me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, that all things must work together for my salvation. Wherefore, by His Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live unto Him.
Powerful eh? I thought it was very fitting and blessed that the Lord drew my attention to it today.
Ever thankful,
Emmygirl
p.s. The Greenbay Packers won their game tonight (23:16, I believe was the score) just in case any of my readers are football fans ;)
